A lot of Leeds United fans are in awe of the save Kiko Casilla made at the weekend to deny Elias Kachunga.
The Spaniard kept his 12th clean sheet of the season with a succession of fantastic stops to deny Huddersfield a goal in the Whites’ 2-0 win over the Terriers.
Was this Casilla's best performance for Leeds?
Yes, he was outstanding
No, he was good but has played better
This has led to many Leeds fans lauding the 33-year-old with praise.

That’s a world class save in any league – always a bit of a mixed bag with Kiko but as a shot-stopper he’s outstanding ?

Been absolutely outstanding this season does help having a solid defence in front breeds confidence in both MOT.

Brillant shot stopper and passer of the ball. Fits perfectly into Bielsaball.

What do we think?
Casilla has 12 clean sheets, which is impressive, though, in some games, he has had to do very little.
However, two games stand out this season where the former Real Madrid man has proved his worth.
The first game was the 0-0 draw with Sheffield Wednesday, where Casilla saved a lackluster Leeds performance from defeat with a Man of the Match display, and on Saturday, he was in fine form as well.
In the first half, he denied a flying Steve Mounie header, (0:30) and then in the second half, Casilla showed cat-like reflexes to stop Kachunga from scoring with a point-blank header. (2:05)
This was not one of Casilla’s busiest afternoons, but he pulled off two wonderful saves to ensure Leeds won another massive three points.
